Clothing made from conventional cotton and synthetic fibres are incredibly destructive on our environment due to the way they are grown and manufactured.

Our skin is a large porous organ that absorbs many of the chemicals that it comes in contact with from the clothes we wear, which may have lasting negative effects on our health. In addition to this, children have skin that is very sensitive and they are more likely to develop allergies or rashes when they come into contact with fabric that has been treated with chemicals, dyes and other toxins.

The Australian Organic Directory has a wide list of suppliers offering a range of companies that supply funky, fair trade, organic cotton, bamboo and wool clothing, pyjamas, sleepwear and shoes for infants, kids and toddlers.
